Taylor Munandi's obstetrician advised her not to change her cat's litter box because handling animal feces puts her at risk of developing toxoplasmosis, which is caused by a microscopic parasite called Toxoplasma gondii and transmitted through cat feces.
Toxoplasmosis is caused by a parasite that lives and multiplies in cats. The fetus can be born prematurely, and a newborn can have problems such as a small head or an enlarged liver. Blood and other fluid tests may be done to detect the infection in the fetus, newborn, or mother.
It is not transmitted in childbirth, but in utero. The transmission of toxoplasmosis from mother to child takes place via the placenta and does not depend on the type of delivery chosen. Talk to her obstetrician to closely monitor this pregnancy.
With this information, we can conclude that Toxoplasmosis, popularly known as cat disease, is an infectious disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), found in cat feces, water or undercooked meat such as pork or lamb, contaminated with the parasite.
